Flutter received a request to officially support GBK encoding (flutter/flutter#45014), and it seemed more appropriate as a Dart request.

It seems that a decent percentage of Chinese websites run on GBK encoding (https://w3techs.com/technologies/segmentation/sl-cnter-/character_encoding). As far as I understand, GBK is an extension of GB2312, which appears on the chart.

According to our user, there are third-party packages like fast_gbk, but our user claims that bugs in those packages with some special characters are prevent their use in a release version of their app.

Would it be a huge effort to officially support GBK encoding in Dart?
